Chapter 205: Behave Don't Move 18_1

There’s nothing to admire.

How many men are really interested in girls’ stuff?

Especially today when those who’ve come are all rich people.

They’re wealthy, why would they want to buy secondhand items?

If they buy something, it surely must be due to some intricate connections.

“Little girl, you’re not all that clueless.” Mu Xiaojiu leans back on the chair and casts a glance at her.

Baili Xia is a little confused: “Why is Uncle here?

Why did he come to this place?”

From the looks of it, he doesn’t seem to be here for business reasons.

It’s clear that many people wanted to come over and greet him, but, they were all stopped by Ye Hua’s men.

Everyone got the message – today, Mr.

XiaoJiu did not want to discuss business.

Hence, it would be better if those in the business world refrain from spoiling his mood.

If he’s not here for the company, then…

Suddenly, Baili Xia’s heart quivers, and she rapidly looks up at the man standing next to her.

Her eyes are instantly filled with sparkle.

“Uncle, you…you specifically came for this charity sale?”

“Afraid that your items won’t get sold and you’ll lose face.” Mu Xiaojiu scoffs, giving her a definitive answer.

For a moment, Baili Xia is so moved that she feels a lump forming in her throat.

Yes, in front of other stalls owned by daughters of prestigious families, there is a continuous flow of customers.

How could she let her own stall embarrassingly not get any business in such a situation?

Even though she managed to pawn off some cakes on Dongfang Ji due to Mu Ziying’s connection, selling about ten pieces…

But, once they left, her stall was deserted again.

Had Uncle not come, right now, she and An Ran would be swatting flies at her stall.

Uncle came here specifically for her, for her reputation, to spare her from embarrassment.

Uncle…why is he so good to her?

He…

he spoils her too much!

This much pampering, could spoil her!

“I…

I won’t charge you for the cakes I baked, uncle.”

Her voice quavers a bit, the excitement evidently hasn’t settled down yet.

“Without money, what results will you present?”

Mu Xiaojiu raises an eyebrow, still gazing at her face.

“If…

if it doesn’t taste good, I won’t charge you.

If you think it’s delicious, then I will.”

Her head lowered, she softly explains her proposition.

“Actually, I have already sold quite a bit earlier…

I have the results to report.”

Of course, it would be best if Uncle is willing to pay.

But considering how well he’s behaving today, not charging him is also acceptable.

“Uncle, aren’t you going to try it?”

As she continues to look at his handsome face, Baili Xia markets her labor of love for the nth time.

This time, after hesitating for a moment, Mu Xiaojiu finally opens his mouth.

“Mr.

Jiu.” The sharp-eyed Ye Hua immediately walks over, “There are…

lots of people here.”

Glancing at the small cake in Baili Xia’s hand, his face clearly reveals caution.

The protective air is so thick, even Baili Xia can perceive it.

“You…

you fear there might be something wrong with my cake?”

How could a simple student like her have such thoughts?

Ye Hua appears slightly embarrassed as he looks at the cake in her hand.

“If Miss Xiaxia doesn’t mind, may I try a piece too?”

Baili Xia understands his intention – she’s the one who’s been careless.

She’s just an ordinary student; she certainly wouldn’t pay attention to such things.

But, Uncle is different.

Given Uncle’s status in Jin City, it’s true that there are countless people who might want to harm him.

What if someone really tampered with the cake?

What Ye Hua is doing is correct.

He’s only looking out for Uncle’s well-being.

Even though, Baili Xia feels it’s unnecessary.

She made the cakes herself, how could there be any problems?

“There won’t be any problems with my cake.

Ziying and I have just eaten it.

If you want, I’ll take a bite first to show you.”
